EarthLite Avila II™ Massage Chair Package

I bought this in approx 2005 and the warehouse sent the wrong color. I needed it right away so I didn't send it back. It performed well for approximately 3 years. So I ordered another. Again the warehouse sent the wrong color. This time, I sent it back. They sent a new chair in the correct color, but it was a shadow of the other chair. The twist for the base and sternum area would be as tight as I could get it, and the chair would shift under the clients weight. The knob for sternum angle was incredibly difficult to pop into and out of place. Next time I'm going for the Dolphine.

EarthLite Avila II™ Massage Chair Package

I've owned this chair for approx 6 yrs now, and it's still great. I really love the rolling carry case, it makes transporting soooo easy. Clients really like that it's comfortable yet easy to get up & down from.

EarthLite Avila II™ Massage Chair Package

I and my clients have all loved this chair - most of my clients drift off quickly in it, so I'm not sure about the "feeling unsafe" comment...? The armrest has several adjustments. On one hand I wish the seat adjusted, but really it's centered to put the client's weight in good balance between the chair's legs while not shifting too much of the client's weight to their knees while keeping the client's low back in good reach (for good/safe pressure during massage).

EarthLite Avila II™ Massage Chair Package

For a product that boasts 'infinetly adjustable' you could image my disappointment that there are no seat height adjustments and the arm rest only has two functional positions and neither one of them have proven to be comfortable to my clients. Because of the lack of seat adjustments, clients don't always feel supported properly by the chest piece, no matter how we've tried to adjust it.
The narrow spacing of the supports that run under the seat make this a very 'wobbly' chair for deep tissue work and clients feel 'unsafe.'
The only thing that made me decide to give it 3 stars instead of 2 is the fact that the cusions are remarkably comfortable. I'm still on the fence of returning this chair and going through a different brand. :(

Q:First of all I bought this chair from a LMT to LMT garage sale held by FSMTA. I saw quality of the chair so bought it without testing it or looking online. My concern is this. The pins always come loose and it makes the adjustment levels useless. The head and chest pads move forward during the massage. I have to keep a pair of plyers with me at all times. The chair creaks all the time too. Is there a way to fix any of these issues?
